What is accelerationism?

"In political and social theory, accelerationism is the idea that either the prevailing system of capitalism, or certain technosocial processes that have historically characterised it, should be expanded, repurposed, or accelerated in order to generate radical social change."

In other words: Push it to the edge... the brinking point, the climax to produce a reaction.

I just don't think it always equates to change, but then it would be called accelerationism, but maybe regression.

 

 

On a side note: Education was a privilage that only the rich held before WWII. It was very expensive for anyone to go to universtity, and I think rich conservatives certantly entertain the idea; I wonder how much they also entertain overpopulation?
